recipes with legumes in them, or a legume as the main ingredient
This is one of my favourite ways to cook beans. Though I usually see it in other places with the kidney beans, I have used coconut in pretty much every type of bean that’s been though my kitchen, even butter beans, and they were all delicious.
Yes! it’s a completely random combination and it was awesome over the boiled matoke! Check it out…
Beans have been the only legumes I cook for a long time, I recently added green grams and chickpeas, and now pigeon peas! They are all awesome!
I’ve been wanting to try chickpeas for a while, I think it went really well. This recipe is a bit like a curry, perfect for having with chapati.
If you’re bored with having plain old rice with your beans, try this twist…
So, it’s githeri but not quite! And it is delish!
Here’s a nice way to have those sausages you love, if you’re tired of doing what you always do. This will also turn out nice with breakfast beans I think.
I love the simplicity of this dish.
Beans! My favourite non meat protein.
I have see this combo and tasted it enough times just I just had to try making it at home…
Sometimes to reach for the easy way out and surprise yourself — this was delicious!
I didn’t grow up eating ndengu (green grams), at least not that I remember. My mother didn’t cook them. I think mostly because she didn’t grow up eating them herself.
I also like to cook the things I remember eating in my mother’s house. Potatoes, nduma, sweet potatoes, matoke, rice, beans, plantain, chicken, beef, goat and the usual vegetables like spinach, mchicha, pumpkin leaves, green-beans, cabbage, etc. Oh! and ugali, how could I forget ugali! The list goes on and on!
Wow! was totally out of my element with this one. I really enjoy Ethiopian food but I never thought I’d be making it till I was given the shiro flour. Lesson learned though, one new thing per meal. Doing two new things is hectic!
I have several recipes for beans because I cook them often, it’s boring if they taste the same every time. I leaned this method from my mother…
